CCA grass track project: donations welcome

edited August 2009 in General
After a number of discussions the Club Committee has just unaminously agreed to proceed with obtaining the lease and planning for change of use to cycling
A number of issues needed to be discussed as this will be a long term committment over 25 years
( if we get it of course )
This stage will consist of a grass track in the field , but no buildings
When usage has been established we will then consider the need for further development probably for 2-3 years time

We do however need to fund the cost of setting up the lease and planning
This comes to a total of £900

It is on this basis I am asking for voluntary donations to fund this need
Anyone wishing to do so can donate from £1 to £50
Clearly there is no expectation to give anything
The £50 limit is to prevent any misunderstandings
The club will own the lease and all assets , individuals will have no rights in this regard
All monies will go direct to a Grass track fund and will not be used for anything else

This will be a significant step for the club
It will particularly benefit the youth section
They now have 50 youth members and are starting a waiting list
This will be a fantastic and safe environment to carry on the great work
and building a long term future for the club

Should you wish to donate
please give a cheque to any club committee member
payable to Cycle Club Ashwell
and write Grass Track on the back of the cheque

It would be useful if you can pledge via the forum
But just give a cheque in if you would prefer

I would like to start the
GRASS TRACK ACCUMULATOR
off with a pledge for £50
( no Blue Peter Badge I am afraid )

Anyone else ?
